INSURANCE HEAD OPENS “BARRAGE” President Kingsley of N. Y. Life Adopis Evening World Appeal to Write to Senators. ‘The president of the New York Life Insurance Company, Darwin P. Kingsley, has adopted th® suggestion of thé Evening World of last Thurs- day, Oct. 16, to “put a barrage of tele- grams on every Republican Senator in the United States Senate who is obstructing ratification of the Price Treaty.” Mr, Kingsley has written letters to both Senators William M. Calder and James W, Wadsworth advising tehm to the drop partisan opposition to an immediate return to peace conditions an dexplaining hie advocacy of The Evening World suggestion. ‘Tho letters follow: “October 17, 1919. “My dear Senator Calder:— “I shall not join next Monday in the barrage which the Evening World calls on the citizens of this State to put on you and Senator Wadsworth, but I write to say in a general way I think that editorial called “What Alls the Public Voices?” pretty nearly states the truth. “The Republican Party, in my opin- fon, is frittering away its strength and ts rapidly getting itself into a position where the general public will have no more confidence in it than they now have in the Democratic Party as a whole. “The delay in ratifying the Peace Treaty is giving opportunity to hon- est discontent an dto the always pres- ent forces of evil. The tide of discon- tent is rising and the evil forces are becoming more outspoken. No effec- tive beginning against those elements can be made until that treaty is rati- fied. “The League of Nations covenant ts Lyknu actually re- moves the dirt— does not cover it up.

I have never been able to ascertain just how far you intend to go, although I remem ber I heard you say at the Republican Club some months ago that the treaty in its present form was unacceptable. “What The Evening World says in that editorial, called “What Alls the Public Voice?” as to the forces at work in soctety is substantially true. The Senate of the United States fid- dies while Rome burns. Unrest is spreading. “The evil forces which are always ready to assault society are finding a vast opportunity in the interminable orations delivered in the United States Senate and the consequent de- lays. The people are getting impa- tient. There is no question about that. “The Republican Party is losing prestige. While I am a Republican I think the party as it is now befng managed ought to lose prestige. “The public wants this treaty rati- flied—ratified with the covenant of the League of Nations in it, The people of this State do not object to any collateral remarks that would be called in a fudiclal decision obitér dicta; but they want peace, and they want it in the only way it cam be had. “They are not afraid of what may happen to the country because of @ome things in the covenant that they do not like. The hair-raising oratory indulged im by some of the Senators on this point is sheer bunk. “1 am writin, @ citizen of New York to you a8 a Senator of the State. I don't often do this. I am joing it now because if I were in your place I think I would welcome expree- sions of opinion from men whose judgment I respected—which I as- sume in some mild degree may be your attitude toward this letter. “Very truly yours, “DARWIN P.

One of these amendments removed | the United States entirely from all participation in the Reparations Com- misrion designated to control and su- pervise the collection and allotment of the one hundred billion gold | marks which Germany must pay for | damages inflicted during the war. ‘The other stipulated that the Amer- icun representative on the commis. sion must cast no vote except on matters ‘relating to shipping without specific direction from Congress. When the vote was reached and a full attendance of Senators obtained, Penrose quggested’ there should be a record vote. “It makes no difference whatever,” said Senator Fall. ‘The amendments will be rejected.” A number of prominent Republl- can leaders, among them Lodge, Pen- rose, Curtis, Smoot and Watso mitted the futility of seeking fur- ther addi of textual amendments to the treaty. The rejection of the Johnsen voting equality prop: by @ substantial majority was ac- copted as certain. It was decided to curtail debate as far as Dossible and get the textual amendments out of the way in order that the real task of whipping reser- vations into shape may be taken up. A vote on the Johnson amendment is expected before the end of next week and the way then will be clear for the fight over reservations, Reading of the treaty was resumed immediately after the voting.
